II An infinite slab of charge of thickness 2z0lies in the XYplane between z=−z0andz=+z0. The volume charge density ÒÏC/m3is a constant.

a. Use Gauss's law to find an expression for the electric field strength inside the slab −z0≤z≤z0.

b. Find an expression for the electric field strength above the slab z≥z0.

c. Draw a graph of Efrom z=0toz=3z0.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(A) The expression for the electric field strength of inside slap is E=ÒÏzεo

(B) The expression of the electric field strength of above slap is E=ÒÏzoεo

(C) Draw a positive-sloped straight line till Z0, then a zero-sloped straight line until 3ZO.

Step by step solution

01

Step :1 Introduction (part a)

(a) The quantity of electron beam that travels through a closed surface is known as the electric flux. The electric field through a surface is related to the charge inside the layer, according to Gauss's law. Because the electric field is homogeneous here, we can compute the electric flux ΦEbyusing equation (24.3)

Φe=EA

Because the blanket has two different sides, we must double the flow by twice to get the transmit.

Φe=2EA

In addition, the electric field is proportional to the charge Qin

Φe=Qinεo

Because the left edges of equations (1)and(2)are one and the same, we can state every next calculation in almost the same way.

2EA=Qinεo2EA=ÒÏVεo

The thickness of the sheet is " because it is placed among -Zand Z

h=z−(−z)=2z

We consider the area of the sheet is A, so the volume of the sheet is

V=hA=2zA

.

.

Step :2 Explanation (part a)

To get E, plug the formula of Vinto equation (3).

2EA=ÒÏVεo

2EA=ÒÏ(2zA)εo

E=ÒÏzεo

03

Step :3  Gaussian surface  (part b)

(b) Since this gaussian surface well outside plate seems to be between and , the module's breadth is '

ho=zo−−zo=2zo

We take the frame's area to be A, hence the sheet's volume is

V=hoA=2zoA

Plug the expression of Vinto equation (3) to get Eby

2EA=ÒÏVεo

2EA=ÒÏ2ozAεo

E=ÒÏzoεo

Step :4  Electric field is zero (part c)

(c) The electric fie approaches. The electric field remains constant as the distance zrises, as shown in parts (a) and (b). To draw the figure, we draw a straight line with a positive slope till point z0, and the electric field is constant after z0, as shown in the diagram below.

The two spheres in FIGURE Q24.8 on the next page surround equal charges. Three students are discussing the situation.

Student 1: The fluxes through spheres A and B are equal because they enclose equal charges.

Student 2: But the electric field on sphere B is weaker than the electric field on sphere A. The flux depends on the electric field strength, so the flux through A is larger than the flux through B.

Student 3: I thought we learned that flux was about surface area. Sphere B is larger than sphere A, so I think the flux through B is larger than the flux through A.

Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain.
